The Analysis of Hemingway’s Short Novel from the Perspective of Spatial Narrative Theory

To know Hemingway, his short stories are a means to an entrance to his heart. The ex-soldier in “Soldier’s Home” and the hitmen in “The Killers” offer insights to his life experience. Although Hemingway’s short stories have been attached a relatively extensive attention, the author of this thesis still conducts a further study from a new perspective of space narratology which is used to analyze the narrative techniques and writing characteristics in order to get an insight into the disjointed narration, presenting Hemingway’s excellent spatial narrative techniques and enrich its research angles.
